System Data Engine has messages in its job log that say data fields are null when streaming SMF_030 and SMF_080
When the System Data Engine is streaming SMF_030 and SMF_080, there are messages in the System Data Engine job log that say data fields are null.
Symptom
When the System Data Engine is streaming SMF_030 and SMF_080, you see the following messages in
the job
log:
Record xxxxxx in the log, of type SMF_030,
Results in null in data field(s):
Value for target field SMF30IDT was set to null due to error
COUT Record 000A0000 Length 0
Record xxxxxx in the log, of type SMF_080,
Results in null in data field(s):
Value for target field SMF80RSD was set to null due to error
COUT Record 000A0000 Length 0Cause
The problem is a known issue for some records. The result output of the field is blank when the problem occurs. This message is just an informational message, which means that the content in SMF does not fit the format of the required fields. The System Data Engine cannot always predict the contents in SMF records. If these fields have invalid content or not initialized, they are ignored. The System Data Engine handles only the fields that have valid record length with some useful information.
Solution
These messages do not affect the data collection and can be ignored.
